Getting ready for Sawing

  • Any branches should be trimmed as close as possible to the trunl
  • Have a cut list ready if you have a project in mind
  • Make a plan for where your finished lumber/beams ect. will go when it comes off the mill. The best thing to so is stack and sticker as it comes off the mill
  • Make a plan for acrap wood and sawdust.
  • The sawing site needs to be level.
  • The mill and tow vehicle are similar in size to a full size pickup with a 25 foot travel trailer, logs are loaded from the driver's side of the tow vehicle, the site needs to be large enough to accomodate for it.
  • Logs should be aligned side by side, centers alignes, so that they can be rolled sideways to load on the mill.
  • Logs (any species) should be sawn up as soon as possible after the tree is cut.
  • Have enough help on the day of the sawmilling. Even a few logs can turn into a lot of work!
  • The sawyer is there to saw your logs again, make sure you have enough help.
  • Please call if you have questions!.
